Right pacing is the key. Nicely done, congrats! Love the story and narration. Enjoyed. Meeting riders getting down at full speed is a bit scary. And racing at altitude is freaking hard.

So glad this popped up on my feed. Really enjoyed the video! I had watched some others and started counting myself out of ever riding the Leadville, but keeping a nice pace like this and accomplishing the ride is all I want so this is awesome to see. Thanks for taking us with you!

Great video! Yeah if the race is longer than your long rides in training, you're best off just going as easy as you can because it will hurt really bad by the end. You don't know it, but you're going harder than you think because people around you make you try harder than you normally would. Very smart pacing!

Dude, holy shit! What a great job, Bruce. So proud to see the results of all your hard work. I was actually going to do Leadville solo (I'm not really big into crowds/racing) just because I wanted to experience it, but now that I'm seeing this, I'm just not sure that's possible. Maybe. Anyway, on to your next effort! Steamboat? 😉

Now you need to come back for that big buckle. Watching your videos this year I really think all you need is more time at altitude. 5,000 ft. in Bolder is not quite enough altitude. Great job!

Great video. I enjoyed your "everyman" perspective. But no one who does Leadville is really everyman. Your strategy looks to have paid off as you made up so many positions on all your climbs. There's nothing you can do about altitude headaches, just a matter of luck if they hit you or not.
